well, I assume you mean a TRD cluster...

Good luck with that. They are very rare. Anyone who has one is not going to part ways with it for cheap. You can find a cluster with a tach to put it. they are a little easier to find.

Any gauge cluster from a JDM Corolla won't fit in a USDM/North American one... mostly due to the driver being on the other side of the car.

Prepare for a wiring nightmare, and possibly a mounting nightmare..

why would you want a JDM cluster in your car?

they look almost exactly the same as North American model cars.

Actually, I don't think that makes a difference

It does make a difference, the mounting brackets along the top of the cluster match the curve of the dash, which is flipped to the other side in Japan.

Seems like the cluster is symmetrical to me, regardless of which side. It is the same shape and size even in Japan. But the center console is obviously not swappable

I've got three partial gauge clusters from this year of Corolla sitting on the shelf next to me, here's a picture of what I'm talking about.

im thinking that the redline might be a little higher over there. also kilometeres only is great because i live in canada. so what do i search for?? is our car called a corolla over in japan? is this the only car that has a matching cluster that bolts up. i understand the wireing might have to be changed. i put a jdm cluster in my mr2. then a beams cluster.
